Med Tech Leadership Program
Free for Rhode Island-based residents, students, companies, and employees.
The most comprehensive education program for HealthTech innovators, entrepreneurs, industry professionals, clinicians, and anyone interested in learning how to successfully commercialize a regulated medical technology.
The Med Tech Leadership Program is a rich education program developed and run by the experts at the New England Medical Innovation Center (NEMIC), based on in-depth research and combined decades of professional experience in the Med Tech industry.
The program begins with an overview of the basics + trends of the MedTech industry, before delving deep into the process of turning an idea into a product ready for market. This is delivered through 55+ hours of seminars led by real industry professionals, hands-on workshops, and 1 on 1 advisory hours.
No other program offers this holistic view of regulated medical technology development, best commercialization practices, and business leadership strategies for regulated medical technologies.
The Med Tech Leadership Program curriculum was designed based upon firsthand research and interviews with industry professionals, CEOs, venture capitalists, angel investors, and seasoned Med Tech entrepreneurs. (more about our curriculum research here)
The goal was to provide aspiring entrepreneurs and Med Tech professionals with the complete picture of how to bring a regulated medical device or digital health product to market, whilst avoiding the common pitfalls inherent to the commercialization process.
